Node js exit status 8, error code 0 works on mac
Following this guide I ran into a bug but not sure what the problem is.
I managed to finish the second phase with no problems, I restarted the server npm start
. Then I had some straw with jade files, started starting again and he groaned, contributing very little to the logs. Before posting here, I deleted the whole folder and started again, but now the npm server won't start even with the base files generated by express.
When I run: npm install -g express
just like a local user, I get errors stating that I am running it as root. This way express is installed as root, however it npm install -g express-generator
works fine as a local user.
So with express generator and express generator, I can now create an express project (registered as local user, not root, project name ... noders):
express noders
Now npm install to get all dependencies:
npm install
So, in theory, I should now start the node js server ...
npm start
But the result is:
Janines-MacBook-Pro:noders janinenitz$ npm start
> noders@0.0.0 start /Users/janinenitz/node/noders
> node ./bin/www

After reading a few other posts, I stopped the node server npm stop
before starting again hoping for no collisions on port numbers, but I get the same thing.
When I am root I get the same result.
Does anyone have any ideas? Every site you install with node starts port number and needs to be uninstalled or something?
On startup, lsof -i
this is the output (after closing web browsers):

With no signs of listening on port 3000 (which is what I previously got on the defualt page using the guide mentioned above), I restart npm and still get the same result as above:
events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

... etc etc
I also tried to tell app.js to listen on a random port number: app.listen(31001);
but still no joy: S
Is there a chance that the previous app I built and installed with npm install
is now conflicting with this somehow? Is there an official way to "uninstall" a nodeJs application?

Error: listen EADDRINUSE
means the port is taken. Are you using another node app or some kind of server on the designated port? I assume you are.
If you want to kill the process that is occupying the port you are trying to connect to and you are using linux / mac, in terminal run:
lsof -i tcp:{DESIGNATED_PORT} // Example
lsof -i tcp:8080 // Yours will need to be something like so
You will see the output like this:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 2940 sethkrasnianski 12u IPv4 0xdce46e6699332713 0t0 TCP *:vrpn (LISTEN)
... then take PID # and run kill -9 {PID_NUMBER}
Otherwise, you should just edit your file app.js
(or any other file named) and assign your express server to a new, obscure port.
